Episode 33: It’s Great to Be Delusional

Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0800

What if being a little “delusional” is actually your secret weapon?

In Episode 33 of The Growth Mindset Podcast, hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle dive into why thinking bigger than your current reality isn’t crazy… it’s powerful 💥

In this high-energy episode, Adam and Rick break down how top producers in mortgage and real estate win by believing in results before they see them. Whether you're closing loans, building a real estate portfolio, growing your business, or chasing a big personal goal — your mindset matters more than the market.

With rates shifting and inventory staying tight, it’s easy to get discouraged. But what if the difference between average and extraordinary is simply believing at a level others won’t?

You’ll learn:

🚀 Why bold belief creates bold results
🧠 How to develop unshakable confidence in uncertain markets
📈 Why “logical thinking” sometimes limits your growth
🏡 How this mindset applies to loan officers, agents, investors, veterans, and first-time homebuyers

This episode is packed with real stories, straight talk, and just enough humor to keep it fun (because if you can’t laugh in this market, you’re in trouble 😄).

If you’re ready to stop playing small and start thinking at a higher level, this one’s for you.

Episode 29: Who Is the Voice in Your Head?

Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0700

Welcome to Episode 29 of The Growth Mindset Podcast with your hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle — two powerhouse mortgage pros who mix high-level strategy with real talk and a touch of humor.

In this solo episode, Rick and Adam dive into one of the most overlooked drivers of success (or sabotage): the voice in your head.

Is your internal monologue pumping you up or tearing you down?

Does it sound like your old boss, your high school coach, or that one friend who’s always "just being honest"?

Most importantly — is that voice helping or hurting your business?

This episode is a must-listen for mortgage pros, real estate agents, and entrepreneurs who find themselves battling self-doubt, perfectionism, or impostor syndrome. You’ll learn:

Why mindset isn’t just a buzzword — it’s your secret weapon.
How to identify toxic self-talk and replace it with productive inner dialogue.
Tools to “hire a better voice” in your head that builds confidence, resilience, and results.

Whether you're closing deals, leading a team, or just trying to make it through Monday — your internal voice is either your greatest ally or your worst enemy. Let’s fix that.
